- ItemAnalysis, design and implementation of a web-based management information system for east African military libraries: the case of senior command and staff college library(Kampala International University, School of Computing and Information Technology, 2009-09) Agatha, Kisa NsibiranoAn automation system is no longer seen as an end in itself but is viewed as a gateway to a global network of information resources. Despite the existence of military information centers, information is not accessed globally due to inefficiency and difficulties in storage, retrieval and dissemination of information. This has not been adequately examined thus causing challenges and pointing out implications involved in automating military information centers to enhance global information access. This study therefore explored the contribution of automating the information management process through an integrated information system so as to enhance access of information. The study also explored and analyzed the effectiveness of automating military libraries so as to enhance information access-internationally or globally. The study employed descriptive research design though quantitative research design was used to compliment it. East Africa Military Libraries are semi-automated. This over emphasis causes the researcher to overlook the fundamental need of providing cost effective services to users. That is “more and better computer capabilities will solve the problem” is a myth. The heart of any information systems is the detailed understanding of the important facets of the organization.

- ItemA comparative analysis of reliability, performance, and security of open source software and proprietary software Case Study: East African Centre for Open Source Software (EACOSS) and Kampala International University (KIU)(Kampala International University ,School of computer technology, 2007-10) Wabule Esther, MakaiProprietary software are programs whose licenses give the user permission\ run them but are not allowed to share, alter or even redistribute them while Open Source Software/Free Software (OSS/FS), also abbreviated as FOSS (Free Open Source Software) licenses give users the freedom to run the program for any purpose, study, modify, and redistribute copies of either the original or modified program without having to pay royalties to previous developers. Proprietary software has been the most commonly used software among the public over the years though with the growth of the Information and Communications Technologies (ICT5) industry, FOSS is a rapidly growing and commercially accepted alternative to proprietary software in the world. In Uganda, Proprietary software is the mostly used though FOSS is winning several users too, but most users do not purchase licenses for these software products and have little or no information about benefits or challenges of using either software. This research aims at correcting this problem by providing quantitative and qualitative results that users can use to compare software and thereby purchase appropriate programs for their organizations. Therefore the choice of OSS/FOSS and proprietary software is an issue whose importance can not be ignored. Our research reveals that OSS/FOSS and proprietary performances depend on the context and situation. When it comes to this parameter, it is hard for one to conclusively say that FOSS or proprietary software is better. The research, however, reveals that FOSS is more reliable and more secure than the proprietary software.

To mitigate the problems caused by this complexity, a decision support system for production scheduling for the implementation of scheduling system is presented in this study, which integrates various scheduling techniques forcing the researcher to come up with new idea of developing a decision support system for coca-cola company. Specifically this system allows user name and passwords created and provided by the system administrator in the company to access the system through an intranet based on the user rights and permissions. The scheduling information stored in a central server. All the services provided by this system, have been made available on the organizations’ intranet. It is recommended that coca-cola company should use the system developed.
- ItemDesign and development of a dynamic user inventory access and management system case study: United Nations-Office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs (UNOCHA) Uganda.(Kampala International University, School of Computing and Information Technology, 2009-09) Okello, Richard; RamboThis study primarily builds grounds on the fact that key information for decision making in organizations is partly a result of good tracking systems like Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) systems and Inventory Control and Management (1CM) systems among others. The main objective of this study therefore was to come up with an inventory control and management system (ICMS) that would allow UN OCHA-Uganda to record, store, retrieve and process information on all equipment, locations, vendors and stocks movement in an efficient and effective manner, providing for interactivity. Literature on the subject matter was widely referenced, obtained from a number of information sources including journal articles, reports, monographs, conference proceedings. In addition, much of the literature was accessed following a number of online searches through renowned search engines on the internet. With particular regard to the choice of methodology, a number of methods, tools and techniques were deployed to support the effective collection and analysis of data that lead to the derivation of useful conclusions that ably backed the recommendations in this regard. In particular, the main methods included interviewing, observation and document analysis. The instruments of research included printed questionnaires that were designed, tested and re-tested, after which, they were emailed to the respective respondents. The study population that predominantly comprised UN OCHA-Uganda staff members based in Kampala and the rest of the Field Offices. Two separate questionnaires were prepared targeting two similar, but occupationally different categories of respondents. The first category of respondents included Management, Finance and Administrative Staff while the second category targeted the rest of the staff from the different departments. Quantitative data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS). This made it possible for the study to yield important statistics to support answering ofthe research questions. Resulting from the data obtained and the analyses made, it is observed that OCHA Uganda does not have a substantive Inventory Control and Management System in place and does not technically own the tools used to track the available data. It was also established that Inventory data was not managed in real time as reflected by a significant 57% of the respondents. It was evidently clear that OCHA-Uganda also adheres to important best practices in 1CM as reflected by over 57% of the respondents who disagree on the proposition that staff received more supplies that requests for resources and the combined 85% respondents who either agree or strongly agree on the proposition of acknowledgement of receipt of materials delivered. On a similar note, a significant number of respondents constituting 29% do affirm that OCHA-Uganda maintains an updated/approved vendor list. The study establishes that no relevant training has been conducted for concerned officials in the recent past. This is evident from 86% of the respondents. This is further aggravated by resource constraints as expressed by over 43% of the respondents who either negate the proposition, or are not aware. XIII In view of the above, the study recommends that OCHA-Uganda invests in the development of a functional, usable, scalable, robust and shareable 1CM system, and in adequate staff training to equip the responsible officers with sufficient skills and techniques to manage the function better. More recommendations are provided in chapter five of this report.

- ItemElectronic evidence management: adoption of standard operating procedures for admisability of electronic evidence in the Ugandan courts of law(Kampala International University,School of Computing and Information Technology, 2017-05) Ssemuddu, Jonathan; KalindaThe study intended to establish the level of awareness of electronic evidence (e-evidence) management of the people entrusted with the duty of electronic crime investigations so that question of how to adopt standard operating procedures (SOPs) can be answered. The study was guided by three specific objectives; (i) to determine the operational knowledge level and awareness of SOPs in regard to electronic evidence management among e-crirne investigators in Uganda (ii) to examine the current level of admissibility of c-evidence in Ugandan courts of law presented by e-crirne investigators and (iii) to establish how internationally accepted e-evidence management SOPs may be adopted as standard operating procedures in Uganda for admissibility of c-evidence in Ugandan courts of law? The study comprised of a target population of 55 respondents from which the sample size of 48 was arrived at using Solven’s formula of Sampling. The study was based on sampling techniques; Multistage sampling in which the researcher started with organizations in Uganda that are majoring in electronic evidence management; Cyber crime unit, Directorate of forensic services, Directorate of investigations of the Uganda Police Force, NITA-Uganda, URA, GAL, UCC and Private forensics labs. The data collection instruments were basically self-administered questionnaires, which comprised of open and closed-ended questions, interview guide and analysis ofjournals. The following respondents were approached; Scenes of Crime Officers (SOCOs), Technical staff, Electronic evidence analysts, Investigators, Common police officers and private investigators with c-evidence exposure. 48.6 of the respondents were less exposed to c-evidence management for a period of 0 to 3 years where as 12 years and above of exposure to c-evidence management were the minority with 2.7 percent of the total respondents. 54.1 percent of the respondents confirmed that non qualified staff always responds to crime scenes which is detrimental to electronic evidence management. However, it was evident that the respondents in the organizations visited by the researcher were theoretically exposed to foreign SOPs without adopting their own. Research described measures to be undertaken if adoption is to of SOPs is to take place, equip forensic labs with routine upgrades, train their staff and the field response teams like SOCOs among others, and to have a memorandum of understanding among different organizations involved, and with other foreign countries so that there is partnership in recovering c-evidence from those countries where perpetrators could hide or commit cyber crimes.
- ItemEvaluating the perception of e-learners on the efficiency and reliability of KIU e-learning platform(Kampala International University, School of Computing and Information Technology, 2017-05) Muhammad Musbahu, MuhammadKampala International University (KIU) has recently joined the league of institutions offering online education to learner. In an organizational setting, whenever a new technology is deployed, it is necessary to evaluate its success so as to understand if it’s been embraced by the users. It is therefore, necessary to evaluate the perception of c-learners from the “quality” point of view as they continue to use the platform for their learning. The aim of this study is to evaluate F-Learners perception on the efficiency and reliability of the KIU eLearning platform. In this study, the researcher adapted descriptive, descriptive correlation and cross sectional design using a survey questionnaire and data was collected from a sample size of 80 respondents. A 4—point Likert scale was used to measure the perception of c-learners which ranges from ‘l Strongly Disagree” to “4Strongly Agree”. A purposive sampling technique was used to select respondents from the target population of 100 students who have registered and enrolled on the KIU e-learning platform. Findings of the study revealed that, there is a moderately significant relationship between System Quality on Continual Usage Intention which indicates that the quality of the platform can affect student to continue to use the system. The more they perceive the system to be of quality, the more they are likely to use it. Also, the findings indicate that, the c-learners are satisfied with the quality of the course content provided on the platform.
